Notre Dame Cathedral

  Notre Dame Cathedral, located on the Île de la Cité in Paris, is an iconic example of French Gothic architecture, built between 1163 and 1345. This cathedral is renowned not only for its impressive rose windows, with diameters reaching up to 10 meters but also as a pivotal site in French history, notably serving as the setting for the crowning of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1804. Currently under restoration following the 2019 fire, visitors can still appreciate the exterior charms while exploring the nearby picturesque Seine River banks. From April to October, the area comes alive with street performers and food vendors, making it a vibrant spot for both locals and tourists. Don’t miss the chance to stroll through the nearby square, where the atmosphere buzzes with the energy of Parisian life.
